"These drawings are based on a found acoustic tile, a tile with a pattern of holes used to reduce noise and reverberations in a space. They were made whilst realising the wall drawing ‘Soundproof III’ at SMAK. The handmade paper templates were fixed to the wall and repeatedly drawn through to cover the entire surface in pencil dots. Marks accumulated on the paper like notation, silently containing the action, rhythm and sound of the making.", Anna Barriball

"For this wall drawing I want to work on Memory. Because of recent events, migrations streams across Europe I want to revisit my own family history. My grandfather migrated from Italy, from poverty after WWI. I made a work in 2005 about him, from old family album photographs. So at the same time connect/remember with an older work again. The other memories I want to work with are the forced ones: the temples of Bel in Palmyra, now they're only a memory, an image. This I will develop in the rest of the hallway. The bottom line is, that I want to find links, lines to the past via my own experience, news, current events and make my own story. All this to create fragile images that are on the thin line between the past and the present.", Marc Bauer
